This math topic focuses on ordering fractions using visual aids, specifically fraction strips. Students practice comparing and sequencing fractions, such as 1/2 and 3/8, by examining their relative sizes demonstrated through fraction strips. The problems cover a range of fractions, requiring learners to determine which fraction is greater or smaller to arrange them in increasing order. This activity is part of a broader unit on equivalent fractions, helping students to develop a strong foundation in understanding and working with fractional relationships.
